Top 6 Bobbi Brown Must-Haves

If you read my blog regularly or follow me on Instagram, you'll probably be aware I recently switched beauty counters and I am now a retail make up artist for Bobbi Brown. The range of products that Bobbi Brown has to offer means I am constantly swatching, swiping and drooling over their huge collection.

I have picked some standout products that I've encountered and thought I'd share them with you all. I know some brands can be slightly intimidating because of the extensive range of shades and finishes, so here's a quick post on where to start.

Black Plum Eye Shadow
I am and always will be a fan of a smokey eye, and the darker the better. This shade called Black Plum instantly caught my eye and I just had to have it. It's exactly as described, a dark, matte, blackened plum and it can also be used with a damp or dry brush to line the eyes. It's also a great alternative to black if having really dark eyes scares you. I've got my smokey eyes firmly set on the Rich Navy shade too, perfect for the upcoming party season.

Cocoa Lip Liner
The perfect nude lip liner to add definition or create a base colour for your lipstick. I sometimes wear the lip liners all over my lips without adding a lipstick, and it never goes dry or flaky like some lip liners do on me. They are soft, smooth, and super pigmented. Sangria is another personal favourite!

Art Stick in Bare
These huge crayons can be used on both lips and cheeks. I of course chose a nude shade and the staying power really impressed me. I am quite picky when it comes to choosing the perfect nude, and this ticks all the boxes. Because of its shape and texture, you don't need a lip liner and it gives a gorgeous matte finish.

Highlighting Powder in Pink Glow
The most flattering highlighter to ever grace my cheekbones. This gives a subtle sheen with one swipe, or can be built up to ensure you are beaming to high Heaven. It's nothing short of amazing, and the current limited edition mini version is the perfect size for travelling. Honestly, next time you are near a Bobbi Brown counter, go and give it a swatch.

Smokey Eye Mascara
I really struggle to find a mascara that I can wholeheartedly say I love, but I think I might just have found it. This holds the curl in my lashes and doesn't flake or smudge throughout the day. I used to swear by waterproof formulas, but not anymore. Trust me, try it.

Instant Full Cover Concealer
From dark circles to blemishes, this award winning concealer is super heavy duty. It is the thickest liquid concealer I have come across but that doesn't mean it difficult to work with. My skin has been misbehaving recently and this has been a lifesaver. It has covered everything seamlessly, lasts all day and does a great job at not looking cakey nor heavy.

Those are my top picks for now, but I am sure I'll come across many more fabulous products that I'll just have to share!
